Very Good
Not so bad after all!

I like the amount of weapons available in-game. Not as good as the console game, but acceptable.
It seems to have a low framerate, so it doesn't play as smoothly as I could have hoped, but once again, this is the DS we're talking about.
The AI IS pretty stupid, but you can get around that pretty easily.
Zombie mode... I like it. The fact that the Zombies kill you in one hit makes it more difficult. I would have liked it if the four maps were a bit more different. Maybe have just two maps, with the objective of turning on the power and some more things from the console game, like more rooms. But all-in-all a good little game mode. The doors and weapons are REALLY expensive though.
The multiplayer is good for a DS FPS, but they waaaaaaaaaay overpowered the grenade launcher. I don't have a good connection for online play at home, so I wasn't able to do much, just a bit at the Library. I only had time to connect to one server. 4 out of 5 people I was playing with were fun to play with, there was some versatility in there. But the fifth person was a pain. He just ran around with an AK-47GL, blowing everything up in one hit. Plus, I hear that people that use the explosive tip crossbow are also very irritating, but I didn't play against any. But, overall, once again, a good game mode.
PROS:
Zombies!
Good singleplayer.
Good multiplayer.
Lots of weapons.
Two different choices for control scheme. (Stylus or Button)
CONS:
Low Framerate.
Explosive weapons overpowered.
Not particularly big Zombies maps.
That's about it!

PROS:
???
CONS:
-Didn't expect much in the way of graphics, but it was actually less.
-Sound effects seriously sound like 8 bit noises from the original Wolfenstein3D. I inwardly cringed whenever my avatar took a step.
-MP connection was awful and took ages to connect while linked to a pretty fast hotspot.
-Worst Control Scheme Ever. Moving your head around is really awkward and sluggish. I think the pen would have been a better choice for aim. It prompted me to wonder if anyone bothered playing the game before they decided to release it.
-Friendly AI is plain stupid and the bots did not hit a single target.
-Despite the impossible controls I found the levels pretty easy to complete on normal difficulty.
-Gamefly took a week to send this to me and it will take another week or more before I get another game. 2 weeks without something to virtually shoot at. =(
bottom line: get the xbox version.

Really Bad
Really!?!?

Graphics.... Youre kidding me right, i would rather play NES than this, it looks like moving actoun figures without hands and the sound is so annoying, zombies has constant guitar licks for beginning every new wave (which is like 5 or 6 zombies) and every match starts off with this creepy laugh that if this is made for kids would probably give them nightmares.
Gameplay......When the first level started, i looked at who i was Sgt. Michael Shaw, what hoppened to Mason???
So unless you want a zombies mode that lets zombies kill you with a single hit and maps the size of your THUMBNAIL DO NOT EVEN RETURN TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND EVEN THINK ABOUT CLICKING THE RENT BUTTON, just search for another game
out..........

The worst game I have ever played - 30 mins gone

Graphics
What the heck. Cooking. Mama. has better graphics then this. Even Goldeneye on the N64 has better graphics! Zombies, however, look okay, so that is why I am giving graphics a 2.
The sound
Ugh, the sound! Just the trainer sounds horrible! I had to turn it down - Zombies has constant, annoying guitar licks, and the zombies groans are EAR SPLITTING. Sound gets a 1.
The Controls
Button controls are impossible. Sure, you can use stylus, but you need to be an ultimate ambidextrous to use it. I find the L and R being used to shoot a bit weird.. Controls get an okay 5.
The Gameplay
The gameplay of this game plays out like every COD game. Shoot, shoot, win. Shoot. Explode. Shoot. Win. Cutscene. Pretty simple, fun stuff! Probably the best part of this game - Gameplay gets an 8, but does not attach to the score.
Overall if you are a diehard FPS fan who only has the DS, rent this as soon as possible, as you might like it. Otherwise, go to the Console version.
I hope you enjoyed my review of Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Nintendo DS. Please check out my other reviews for more reading.
